Book Description
Alberto Villoldo, a classically trained medical anthropologist, has studied shamanic healing techniques among the descendants of the ancient Inkas for more than twenty years. In Shaman, Healer, Sage, he draws on his vast body of knowledge to create a practical and revolutionary program based on the traditional healing methods used by these shamans — methods that, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world.

Villoldo explains that central to shamanic healing is the concept of the Luminous Energy Field that is believed to surround our material bodies. His book teaches us to see and influence the imprints that disease leaves on this field and thereby to heal ourselves and others, as well as prevent illness.

Villoldo weaves wonderful teaching stories throughout about the healing power of the energy medicine of the Americas. In one story, Villoldo comes down with pneumonia while in Peru. When antibiotics fail to control the infection, his mentor, the shaman Don Antonio, uses the process of Illumination to remove the toxins that had invaded Villoldo’s body. These same shamanic techniques later allowed Villoldo to remove stagnant energy from a young woman whose marriage was suffering due to her past experience with abandonment. With the aid of shamanic work, the woman regained her trust in others, and her marriage was revitalized.

This book is rich with ancient wisdom and contemporary techniques we can use to help ourselves and others, as well as with the more advanced methods of master shamans, which are being brought to a wide audience for the first time.

An incredible event will take place in Peru over the Spring Equinox 2007. Elders from Indigenous tribes of the Americas will gather at Lake Titicaca to council and listen to our Mother Earth, the Pachamama, and perform ceremony and ritual that will beckon in the prophesied Age of Peace, 500 years of unity and shared vision between peoples who have, for the last 500 years of Darkness, been scattered and oppressed. When the peoples of the Americas once again unite, the prophecy states, it will create worldwide transformation, allowing all of humanity to move from the depths of war into the light of peace.

Elders of Peru, keepers of this Incan vision, say that it is time for the Condor (South America) to reunite with the Eagle (North and Central America). Their mission is to formally and ritually bind the Indigenous tribes across the Americas together, for when these, the gatekeepers of our land, speak as One, the energy of their shared vision will spread to all of the tribes of Earth.

Rituals and ceremony for healing the suffering carried by the People is a vital aspect of this work, for only through forgiveness and deep healing can the Age of Darkness truly be released and the Age of Peace be welcomed in its place. When this is accomplished, the prize is a deeper and more lasting peace than many of us have ever known. It is world-changing when barriers of separation are dropped, the past is forgiven, and the People stand as One. It is the destiny of the Americas to begin this blessed transformation on the Spring Equinox 2007.

Elders from all tribes are being called to participate in this extraordinary, historic and profound event! Some will travel to Peru in March for Council and ceremony in person. Others will stay on their own land, using ritual and ceremony to anchor the energies of healing and unity over all the power places on Earth. Many will offer bundles and resolutions, stating the fulfillment of their own tribal prophecies and pledging unity
with those in Peru who are bringing this vision to life. All peoples are invited to pray and heal themselves during this time, wherever they may be.

The Elders, Wisdom Keepers, Medicine People and Historians need our support to bring about this sacred transition for Earth and Humanity. Prayers and intentions are the most important contribution anyone can make, and these are asked of anyone whose heart longs for peace and unity. The gathering will be supported by participants from around the world and will also serve as a forum for cultural exchange and teaching as well cultural arts performances, such as the Eagle and Condor dances.

above: the Palace, Palenque. Where I dreamt myself last week as a powerful shaman sorcerer/teacher

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.don Miguel Ruiz

Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.Anais Nin(1903 – 1977)

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.Woodrow Wilson(1856 – 1924)

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.Mark Twain(1835 – 1910)

History has proven, God has never given anyone a dream Without also including the power to achieve that dream; It is up to us to claim the power and go after that dream, Or just claim , it was only a dream.Larry Bennett

We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems.Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy(1844 – 1881)

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.Thomas Jefferson(1743 – 1826)

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.Eleanor Roosevelt(1884 – 1962)

Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.Ovid

This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once: scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic.

Carl Jung(1875 – 1961)

Once Chuang Chou dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn’t know he was Chuang Chou. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Chuang Chou. But he didn’t know if he was Chuang Chou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Chuang Chou.

We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.DonJuan Matus

I had the chance to see the Dalai Lama speak a couple of years ago and am planning on one day; hopefully in the not to distant future, working with the q’ero elders.

I often see Incan elders in the southeast when i am working with the directions. I know them as “the grandfathers”, my ancestors of past lives. I always see them huddled together, thier imperfect smiles surrounded by colourful alpaca tassels.
